Soybean Variety XR33S13 Breeding Program
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of new soybean varieties is a time-consuming process that requires precise planning and efficient resource use, aiming to combine desirable traits such as higher seed yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved fatty acid profiles, while existing methods face challenges in efficiently integrating these traits into stable, high-yielding varieties.
Innovation Solution
The soybean variety XR33S13 is developed through a comprehensive breeding program, combining traits like resistance to aerial web blight, aphid antibiosis, and improved fatty acid profiles, with methods for introgressing transgenic or mutant traits, and characterizing the variety using genetic markers to ensure stability and uniformity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional soybean breeding methods are used, then variety development can be achieved, but the process is time-consuming and requires extensive resources over 6-12 years
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a comprehensive breeding program with defined objectives, selecting germplasm with desirable traits before the actual breeding begins, and planning multiple generations of selection and crossing in advance. This structured preliminary planning enables more efficient trait integration and reduces overall breeding time while maintaining variety stability and uniformity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple desirable traits are combined in a single variety, then variety improvement is achieved, but the complexity of integrating these traits increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the breeding program into distinct phases: germplasm selection, crossing design, multi-generation selection, and variety release. Each phase focuses on specific traits (e.g., disease resistance, yield, fatty acid profile), allowing systematic integration of multiple desirable characteristics while managing program complexity through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by developing a breeding program that can simultaneously target multiple trait categories (agronomic characteristics, disease resistance, fatty acid composition, yield) within a single integrated framework. This multi-functional approach allows one breeding program to produce varieties with diverse desirable traits without requiring separate specialized programs for each trait.
3Reliability
If stable, high-yielding varieties are developed, then agronomic soundness is improved, but the difficulty of achieving both stability and high yield increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback through multiple generations of selection and evaluation, where breeding performance data from each generation is used to adjust and refine subsequent breeding decisions. This iterative feedback mechanism ensures that varieties achieve both stability and high yield by continuously monitoring and selecting for consistent performance across different environments and generations.
